Guidance for university events

Gathering size limits are lifted for all events and activities, both indoors and outdoors. Indoor gatherings may be held at the full capacity of the indoor space, including work, classroom and research space.

Organizers will follow the established processes used before the pandemic. Events will adhere to K-State policy on Use of University Buildings and Grounds (PPM 7840) and Student Organization On-Campus Event Policy (PPM 8530).

Classroom use of university event/venue space will take precedence over other planned events.

Scheduling of event space will be managed by Facilities or the Venue Manager as designated in PPM 7840. The Salina campus will continue to use the process in place for that campus.

Event promotional materials should inform attendees that they will be required to adhere to the university's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Attendees should be aware that their travel must be in compliance with Kansas Department of Health and Environment travel and exposure related isolation/quarantine requirements.

Inform attendees in advance to follow stay-at-home guidelines if they have any symptoms of COVID-19 the day(s) of the event.

If meals are served during an event, boxed or pre-packaged meals, bottled beverages, and disposable food utensils and dishes present the lowest risk to attendees.

Self-service food, snacks or drink should be avoided, if possible. If catered plated meals are provided, ensue the caterer follows local, state, federal public health agency guidelines for food, bar or restaurant services.
